Cheyney University of Pennsylvania

Melrose House, Sitz des Präsidenten, erbaut 1805

Die Cheyney University of Pennsylvania (Name seit 1983, seit 1959 Cheyney State College) ist eine US-amerikanische öffentliche Universität im Staat Pennsylvania, gegründet 1837, die bei Thornbury liegt. Der Name stammt von der vermögenden Quäkerfamilie Cheyney, die das Land der Universität gespendet hat. Sie bildet bis zum Bachelor aus und ist Teil des Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. Sie hat leicht über 600 Studierende (Undergraduates), die neben dem nach wie vor wichtigen Lehramt auch Berufe im medizinischen und sozialen Bereich anstreben.[1]

Geschichte

Teacher Training School 1914

Sie ist die erste Hochschule der USA, die Schwarze aufgenommen hat, und gehört zu den HBCU. Die Gründung erfolgte als African Institute im Februar 1837. Bereits im April folgte die Umbenennung zum Institute for Colored Youth (ICY). Der Gründer war der in Tortola geborene Quäker Richard Humphreys, der $ 10,000 (heutiger Wert etwa $ 250.000) spendete, um junge Schwarze in der Landwirtschaft und zu Lehrern auszubilden.

1902 zog das Institut um auf George Cheyneys Farm, ein großes Grundstück 40 km westlich von Philadelphia. 1913 folgte der Namenswechsel auf seine Familie.[2]

light, well-planned mealsand laundry privileges for $100 for the whole year. Of this $100,$12.00 should be paid in advance when a student enters, and after that$11.00 a month in advance. In other words, a student pays alto-gether in the first month, $17.00 and after that $11.00 monthly. Thecost of books ought not to exceed $5.00 a year. Clothing should beno more nor less than the supply which a student would ordinarilyhave at home. There is hardly a school in the United States that offers more toits students than the Cheyney Training School, at such remarkablylow rates.

On each floor of both dormitoriesis a large living room for study and recreation. The supervision of the life of the young women in these dormi-tories is directly in charge of a competent matron, whose duty is notonly to care for the building, but also to advise with students aboutthe problems connected with the development of the highest type ofwomanhood. Supplementing the services of the matron, a specialcommittee of the faculty gives careful attention to problems ofhygiene and sanitation in connection with the life of the students, andspares no pains in trying to build up a cheerful, spontaneous homespirit among them. RULES AND REGULATIONS Not many rules and regulations are laid down. It is under-stood that students in this school are sufficiently mature largely togovern themselves.
